Like any toy it's durable as long as he doesn't hit it on anything really hard my grandson just loves his and he's 7

Yes it seems to be durable. It is a thick quality plastic. You will need to trim the body, it comes pressed with area that must be trimmed.

Yes! Absolutely! Ours was purchased for a two year old and has been used as an indoor toy. It is still in perfect condition even after used a great deal by two little ones.

I wouldn't recommend it if you want it to be a toy that lasts a while. Arows did stick but bow kept coming apart. Not for an 11 yr. old.

The wand is not detachable. The handle is a very durable plastic...feels nice. I don't know how long it will last. I liked this product so much I ordered more for gifts.

I just bought it last December, but its a durable material, I am sure it can last several years with out abuse. I make sure my kids dont move it from its place or play it with out the appropiate sticks

The head is very tight but if it is throw and hits something, like a wall, it would hold together but maybe damaged. I really love mine and i'm glad I bought it but it is not meant to be throw or used as a toy for young children.

i think it woud hold up very good. i have a 5yearold grandson and he uses it .for the price its a great deal

yes it is, but it is a good time to remind the child that it is a tool and they should be gentle with it. It is sturdy, but with a huge amount of abuse, it might not last

I wouldn't recommend it for a 2-3 year old, there are a lot of very small pieces. It's definitely better for older children. The durability is good. I had one when I was a little girl and 30+ years later it's still in my dad's basement. I purchased one for my 5-year old last Christmas. It's probably a better fit for children around 4-5 at least.

It does! My 11 year old daughter really loved it. It's strong plastic with a wood design. It looks and feels like a real wand and is very strudy. She was happy she bought it

Yes, it will withstand rough play. My daughter has had hers for over a year now and still no issues with the kitchen. Melissa and Doug products are a good use of money. I do not think you will be disappointed.

Ours has worked out really well. No complaints at all, and our 9 & 7 year olds bounce on this thing several times a day. Now that they know how to keep the whole thing from tipping when they climb on it, hang on it etc., they abuse the handle big time. The middle section of the top bar bends-in a little bit because of this, but frankly I'm DELIGHTED it's lasted as long and is in as good shape as it is!

The wand is fixed in place. The handle is plastic. I just bought it have three weeks experience.

I've used mine several times with my now 3.5 year old son, it hasn't broken yet. It isn't as stable as I'd like it to be, but he still plays with it as a toy even though I haven't travelled with him more than a handful of times.

The manufacturer says it is for ages 3-9. We bought it for our granddaughter that was just turning 3. In my opinion the toy wouldn't hold up if the child plays rough with it. The parts doesn't come totally apart. A small rope is run through the middle of the body to hold it together.

It is durable... to an extent. I've had the product for seven months and I can safely say that there are parts that can break. I would highly recommend that you first buy the Power Rangers Super Megaforce Morpher first. It's the American equivalent to the Mobirate but little more durable and made for younger kids. But if he still wants the Japanese Mobirate, I say go for it.
